Full-Time
You will be accountable for one of the company's highest-impact programs, bringing together multiple engineering teams and cross-functional partners to deliver a critical business outcome. You will own the integrated execution plan, dependency management, launch readiness, executive communication and decision-making mechanisms that determine whether the program succeeds.
What you'll do
- Serve as the accountable leader for one strategic cross-organizational program, or two closely related programs, with clear business impact.
- Build and maintain the integrated execution plan, including milestones, critical path, dependencies and cross-team commitments.
- Drive end-to-end risk management by identifying leading indicators, removing blockers, tracking mitigations and escalating only when executive decisions are required.
- Define and continuously raise the quality bar for your program by establishing objective launch criteria across functionality, reliability, security and operational readiness.
- Lead release readiness across Engineering, Product, Platform, Security, Legal and Commercial teams, ensuring launches are based on measurable readiness rather than feature completion alone.
- Make delivery trade-offs explicit and ensure decisions are documented, owned by appropriate stakeholders and supported by clear mitigation plans.
- Drive executive decision-making through concise written narratives, data and clear recommendations.
- Influence technical and organizational decisions without direct authority, aligning engineering, product and business stakeholders around shared outcomes.
What you'll need
- 7+ years of Technical Program Management experience, or equivalent experience leading large-scale technical programs with software engineering teams.
- Proven experience delivering complex cross-functional programs from definition through launch across organizations you did not directly manage.
- Experience leading release readiness for production systems, including defining objective launch criteria and driving launch decisions.
- Strong track record of identifying delivery risk early, driving mitigation plans and making effective escalation decisions.
- Sufficient technical depth to engage credibly with senior engineers on architecture, rollout strategies, system dependencies and engineering trade-offs.
- Exceptional written communication skills to distill complex technical situations into clear narratives for senior leadership.
Nice to have
- Experience delivering AI, machine learning or LLM-powered products at scale in a high-growth engineering organization.
- Experience building program management mechanisms that became durable organizational practices.
